Library services are provided jointly by the State Library of Western Australia and the Town of Bassendean. The service provides informational, educational, recreational and cultural materials in a variety of formats to all age groups. The Library and Information Service is part of the state-wide Public Lending Service, coordinated through the Library Board of Western Australia. Therefore, your local library is a link to all other service points within the State and through regular exchange of materials and inter-library loans, it provides access to over 2 million items of information.
